Mai Tai Madness

Mai Tai Madness

~Oh, my friend, Gloria!~

Funny~till drinks made her totally unstable.
We nearly got killed in her car!
When on the Golden Gate Bridge,
she screamed" I left my sweater
back at the bar."

Making a U-turn in the middle of
the Golden Gate Bridge at rush hour, OMG,no less! 
Cuss words and the "bird" were
so shocking, I must confess.

I made the sign of the cross, said
my final prayers, with closed eyes.
My stomach filled with a flurry 
of butterflies.
So grateful was I to get home in
one piece,
I literally cried and begged God
to give Gloria, sober peace.

Vijay Pandit Date: 6/23/2019 8:57:00 AM This happens in different forms..kudos, Panagiota for the scene you painted and the emotions that evoked with your piece..you also gave a voice to something many face and can't control. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 6/23/2019 9:30:00 AM Happy to know you liked how I painted the scene. Yes, it a problem in high denial worldwide. That does not mean people cannot recover.They do! It's a gift from God to be free of any substance or anything people abuse...food included! PR. There is an endless list of things humans are addicted to. PR

Caren Krutsinger Date: 6/23/2019 4:02:00 AM "When on the Golden Gate Bridge, she screamed" I left my sweater back at the bar." - the U-turn at rush hour on the Golden Gate Bridge was totally unexpected, but you sure had my curiosity up on the quote above! Good one. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 6/23/2019 8:19:00 AM I think my hair stood up at that moment PR
